Erema EcoGentle
Erema Group GmbH, Austria, has released its EcoGentle plasticizing technology. The unit reduces energy consumption when used in conjunction with the company’s Vacurema Basic 2628 T system to produce recycled polyethylene terephthalate (rPET) pellets. The EcoGentle:
- combines with Erema’s Counter Current technology to improve the interaction between the intake section and extruder screw on the system for optimized compression ratios that ensure better feeding performance
- allows for other rheological optimizations that help result in a more homogeneous melt and a wider process window, making it easier to compensate for fluctuations in the input material without negatively impacting process stability
- features a lower temperature that allows for a gentler melting process and achieves lower acetaldehyde values for higher-quality rPET pellets
